An 8-year-old boy from Vermont born with a rare condition is getting the chance of a lifetime with the help of the Make-Wish-Foundation and Los Angeles police officers and firefighters.

Noah Cohen was born with VACTERL association, a rare condition that prevents his organs from functioning properly. He's had nearly two dozen surgeries since birth due to his condition, says his mother Amy Cohen.

"His health condition will be ongoing needs but this has been really great to have something that's been totally focused on pure joy and happiness," Amy says.
